How to Grow Pole Beans 
Pole beans should not be planted until dan- 
ger of frost is passed and soil is warm. They 
do best if the vines are given support. Space 
3 to 4 ft. apart each way. Place 5 or 6 beans 
around each pole, cover with 2 inches of soil, 
and firm to assist germination. When plants 
are well started, thin so 3 or 4 of the strong- 
est remain to a pole. A packet of seed for 15 
poles, except Scarlet Runner, a packet for 8 
poles. Pole Beans may also be planted 3 to 
5 inches apart along a trellis or fence.

How to Grow Bush Lima Beans 
Bush Lima Beans succeed well in almost 
any good garden soil but do best in a rich, 
well-drained, sandy loam. As seed is sensi- 
tive to cold and wet ground, it must not be 
planted until the soil has become quite warm 
and fairly dry. Plant the seeds edgewise, 
eye down, 4 in. apart in rows 2% to 38 ft. 
apart, and cover with 2 in. of fine soil. When 
the plants are well started, thin to stand 12 
in. apart for large-seeded varieties and 8 to 
12 in. for small-seeded varieties. Give fre- 
quent and shallow cultivation until blossoms 
appear, but do not cultivate or handle plants 
when they are wet. They may be eaten green, 
dried, canned or quickly frozen.
